DrupalBook.org Launches JSON Drop API – a Zero-Config, Drupal 11 Distribution for Modern, API-First Projects

Created date: 05/05/2025

Novi Sad, Serbia – 05 May 2025 – DrupalBook.org today announced the public availability of JSON Drop API, a self-contained Drupal 11 distribution that lets developers spin up a fully-featured JSON:API backend in minutes—no Composer, command-line tooling or lengthy configuration required.

The new distribution packages Drupal 11 together with battle-tested modules and best-practice defaults, giving frontend teams the speed of Serverless and Headless platforms while retaining the flexibility of Drupal.

Why JSON Drop API?

Zero-Code Backend – Every Drupal entity is instantly exposed through standards-compliant JSON:API endpoints, ready for consumption by Next.js, Nuxt, Angular, Svelte or native mobile apps.
One-Click Deploy – Ship a single archive to shared hosting, VPS, or container infrastructure; complete a browser-based installer; start querying. PHP 8.3+ and MySQL/MariaDB are the only requirements.
Built-in OpenAPI Docs – Automatic schema generation means your API is self-documenting from day one.
Out-of-the-Box Security – Choose the right auth strategy for each project: Basic Auth, API-Key, OAuth 2 (Simple OAuth), or stateless JWT, all pre-enabled and documented.
Performance & Scale – Optimised caching headers, CORS presets and support for CDN-friendly response patterns keep latency low even under heavy load.

Ideal Use-Cases

Decoupled web frontends (Next.js, Astro, Nuxt, etc.)
Mobile and IoT applications that need real-time data
Micro-service or serverless architectures looking for a content engine
Prototyping and hack-days where time-to-first-endpoint is critical
